Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary MFT
The Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary MFT lens is a particularly smooth portrait length prime lens and part of Sigma's Contemporary series lenses. The lens is designed for use in combination with Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The lens is characterized by its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, which is suitable for working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers improved control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focusing techniques. The optical design uses two aspherical elements and an SLD element, which help to reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness and clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been used to suppress lens flare and ghosting to achieve more contrast and color accuracy when working under strong light conditions. Supplementary to the optics is an AF stepper motor, which is suitable for both photo and video applications because of the fast, accurate and virtually silent performance.
